Armed Guard personnel were never used for guard duty or ship security while in port, at least not officially. I assume officers were issued side arms (pistols) but so far as I know Armed Guard enlisted men were not issued rifles, which would be of minimal use on a ship. Armed Guard veterans, please correct me if I'm wrong. Ron Carlson, Webmaster Armed Guard / Merchant Marine website www.armed-guard.com
